Toulouse aims to become the IoT Silicon Valley

The city of Toulouse in Southern France, home to Airbus, aims to become the IoT Silicon Valley, “Campus IoT”. It has already built a 3,000 square meter center to host 35 startups and an accelerator (“Connected Camp“) near the University which is being managed by a public-private association, IoT Valley.
One of the new companies is Sigfox, invested by Samsung and whose founder is also the president of IoT Valley. Big companies such as Intel and SNCF are already taking part in the acceleration process. IoT Valley wants to develop Campus IoT into a 12,500 square meters area full of startups and big companies.
